By Gene Frantz, Texas Instruments When people first hear the term "video analytics", many close to the technology first think about its applications in video security. In my previous blog (Read Future of Video Analytics), even I focused on security first as an industry being transformed by advances in analytic technology. However, the impact of video analytics will extend far beyond...
